This an archive I found from
several locations. It's been around for decades, its before
the official release and is older in design. (may have been a press release) LALT + V states its version as Sept
24 1996 23: 10: 30

A number of the files are smaller and pre-date the
official release.
CD patch applied, no CD required.

I'm assuming some bugs where ironed out after this version, since the
EXE, STUFF.DAT and other files are larger in the final release.

This
version also has an early Win95 executable. It seems unfinished and was
dropped from the demo and retail release.
